day 12: well, that just happened … laugh it off!

You’ve planned well. You’ve prepared for every possible scenario. You have stood in front of the mirror, your speech is memorized, your outfit is fresh & clean … and then, BOOM! You completely bomb. Yep … if it’s the bomb part … I nailed it today.

What you’ll need:

One amazing recipe for sweet potato, black bean chili

All ingredients to execute said recipe without a hitch

A trying day (like this one)

Distractions (mine was a dog and my thoughts)

Equal parts honesty and humility

Minimum of 2 strong cocktails

A healthy dose of laughter

What you’ll do:

Chop all ingredients and complete recipe up to the point of simmering and fail to turn heat down

I roast my own coffee. Yesterday, I did the ultimate screw up. I got distracted, walked away from monitoring the roast, then forgot all about it. Several minutes later, I smelled something burning. Yup. The roast went up in smoke. I had to disable the smoke alarms and open up windows to bring in fresh, 4 degree air. I’ve never done that before.
